Glove pockets

Abstract

A pocket for garments defined by a half-glove or half-mitten sewn to the exterior or interior of a pair of trousers, so as to define a hand engaging concavity. The pocket may be in the form of a regular glove with particulate finger portions or a mitten and may be sewn, as well, to garments such as a shirt, blouse or skirt.

We claim: 
     
       1. In a pants garment of the type adapted for covering the human form and including at least one conventional rear pocket, the improvement comprising a supplemental outer pocket which is conformed as a half glove upon a portion of the exterior garment surface which includes said rear pocket, said supplemental outer pocket being further defined by a sheet of material which is secured, at its edges, to said exterior surface portion to thereby define a hand-supporting concavity with respect to said exterior surface which defines the palm-engaging surface of the combination, wherein further the half-glove sheet material has an aperture defined to allow entrance and complete encircling of the fingers of a human hand which is placed therein, characterized in that said half-glove is angularly disposed with respect to said conventional rear pocket so as to allow a person other than the garment wearer to insert his or her hand while both are walking in a side-by-side fashion. 
     
     
       2. A pocket and supplemental pocket combination according to claim 1 wherein said supplemental pocket is conformed as a half-glove with articulate finger portions that are individually secured, at their edges, to the exterior of said conventional pocket to thereby define stalls with the exterior of said garment. 
     
     
       3. A pocket and supplemental pocket combination according to claim 2, wherein said articulate finger portions are further defined with open ends, whereby the fingers of a human hand within said hand engaging concavity are operable to extend outwardly, through said open ends, and against the exterior of said garment.
